I am trying to "Limit" the hours some of my users are
logged on, actually I want to be able to Log them Off at
the End of the Day. I am using SBS 2003...I see on the
users Profile where I can set the time they are allowed
to Logon....but the problem is, How Do I make Sure they
Log OFF at the Specified Time? If they Logout, they are
unable to Log back in until tomorrow, but providing they
do not Log Off, they can remain connected to the Network.
Can someone tell me how to Force the Logoff at a Specific
Time?

Set the Group Policy "Force Log-off when log on hours expire" ...or
something like that.

Be aware that users may loose unsaved data or databases may become
corrupt due to un-stateful shutdown and termination of connections.

Far better to address the HR issues involved here than apply an IT Axe.

First I must warn you that a forced disconnection is not very healthy
because data loss on the user side is almost certain.

After you have selected the proper logon hours for your users, you should
open a command prompt window and issue a NET command like this:

net accounts

If you get a line like this:

Force user logoff how long after time expires?: Never

then you have to activate the forced logoff with this command:

net accounts /forcelogoff:nn

where nn is the minutes before the user gets disconnected.

Hope this helps....
